Wednesday Night Forum About Marijuana At Hornell High School

HORNELL, NY – The Hornell School System sent out the following letter recently:
Dear parents and other concerned community members,

On February 28, 2018 there will be a program entitled Today’s Marijuana: How It’s Effecting Our Youth, from 7:00PM – 8:30PM at the Hornell High School auditorium. As you know, we are experiencing an opiate crisis in our nation and it is believed that marijuana is a contributing factor to this epidemic. With increasing legalization of medical marijuana (now in 20 states plus the District of Columbia) and recreational marijuana (now in 8 states plus the District of Columbia) there is a growing perception that marijuana is safe and harmless. All school districts nationally are experiencing problems with their youth as marijuana use by youth continues to increase. Please join us on February 28th where you will hear from several experts relative to “today’s” marijuana and its effects. This program is something all parents should come to and learn from. Marijuana today is much different from the marijuana used just a few years ago.
